Streets of Fire
Director Walter Hill reimagines The Wild One as a rock and roll musical set in a fantasyland version of the 1950s. Featuring a superb cast of rockers and bikers including Michael Paré, Diane Lane, and Rick Moranis, the film was scored with chart toppers Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks. Despite the star power the film flopped at the box office but has since acquired a sizable following among film fans.

About Michael Schlesinger
Michael Schlesinger is widely acknowledged as the dean of classic film distributors, having worked for more than 25 years at MGM, Paramount and Sony, keeping hundreds of vintage movies in theatrical release (and later DVD), and instigating the restoration of many more, including the completion of Orson Welles' 1942 documentary It's All True some 50 years later. Behind the camera, he wrote and produced the American version of Godzilla 2000, co-produced such Larry Blamire parodies as The Lost Skeleton Returns Again and Dark and Stormy Night, and has written, produced and directed several short films featuring the faux-1930s comedy team of Biffle and Shooster. No power on Earth will ever convince him that It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World is not the Greatest. Movie. Ever.
Released in 1984, not ’86 (One week before “Ghostbusters” and “Gremlins”).
The Blasters were in the Bikers Club, not backing Diane Lane’s character.
